One story that I always found funny, was about a man that owned many of the properties in Rome. He owned a fire-station business and when ppls places were burning down, he would negotiate the price for his services- all the while, the blaze burning in the background. Most often, he would end up owning the property and the previous owner would have to pay him rent.<br>

It is funny, in a twisted sort of way...... I have been looking for the last hour for the book that I read it in and I can't find it yet. I will post again when I come across it though and add more detail if it is good to do so.... lmao<br>

Vale,<br>
Quintus Peltrasius <p>don't they say that "those who do not learn from history, are doomed to repeat it." Interesting, if we don't learn the true history (or the little details therein), then..... what have we learned????
